10For am I now persuading men, or God? Or, am I seeking to please men? If I still were pleasing men, then I would not be a servant of Christ.
5Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence.
1And, brothers, if a man has been overtaken by any offense, you who are spiritual should instruct someone like this with a spirit of leniency, considering that you yourselves might also be tempted. 2Carry one another’s burdens, and so shall you fulfill the law of Christ. 3For if anyone considers himself to be something, though he may be nothing, he deceives himself. 4So let each one prove his own work. And in this way, he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another. 5For each one shall carry his own burden.
6The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me.
7Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.
4But, just as we have been tested by God, so that the Gospel would be entrusted to us, so also did we speak, not so as to please men, but rather to please God, who tests our hearts.
25Whoever fears man will quickly fall. Whoever hopes in the Lord shall be lifted up.
18You need not call to mind the past, nor consider the things of antiquity. 19Behold, I am accomplishing new things. And presently, they will spring forth. With certainty, you will know them. I will make a way in the desert, and rivers in an impassible place.
26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will suggest to you everything whatsoever that I have said to you.
19In this way, we will know that we are of the truth, and we will commend our hearts in his sight. 20For even if our heart reproaches us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things.
16And so, from now on, we know no one according to the flesh. And though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him in this way no longer. 17So if anyone is a new creature in Christ, what is old has passed away. Behold, all things have been made new. 18But all is of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation. 19For certainly God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not charging them with their sins. And he has placed in us the Word of reconciliation. 20Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, so that God is exhorting through us. We beseech you for Christ: be reconciled to God. 21For God made him who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the justice of God in him.
33just as I also, in all things, please everyone, not seeking what is best for myself, but what is best for many others, so that they may be saved.
1Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude. 2Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if you have been circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3For I again testify, about every man circumcising himself, that he is obligated to act according to the entire law. 4You are being emptied of Christ, you who are being justified by the law. You have fallen from grace. 5For in spirit, by faith, we await the hope of justice. 6For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails over anything, but only faith which works through charity.
